Swiss Army Forest Victorinox 2012

Hm, I don't know what exactly I was thinking, but after rummaging (haha) through my collection, the thought occurred to me that I'm missing a woody scent. Not one to collect compliments or impress ladies, but one just for me. A fragrance that brings the earthy and fresh essence of nature into my urban apartment. A scent that could even remind me a bit of Allgäu pine or a fir needle bath! ;-)

"Swiss Army Forest" (SAF) was supposed to be this fragrance... SUPPOSED TO BE! Basically, I do see the theme of the forest represented here (as the ingredients of this EDT suggest), but I absolutely miss the power of nature. I smell nothing ethereal, nothing camphor-like, nothing to "inhale," just a subtle juniper note in front of a distant fir thicket.

I would still like to highlight positively that the wood department at the hardware store was obviously closed during the creation of SAF. What came out, however, is just a mediocre little forest or a mild breeze. From the two highly renowned perfumers, whose names were decisive for my purchase, I would have expected a bolder and more vigorous approach. As it stands, SAF is nothing more than a rather inconsequential "forest and meadow scent."
